Among all the poets active in Taiwan in the 1960s, a Malaysian Chinese writer, Ta-Wei Chen (1969- ) is undoubtedly one of the most representative poets. "Putting poets into history" is a kind of performance he mastered, which was what the commentators focused on in the past. However, since "the cities and counties full of phantoms", Ta-Wei Chen has actually launched the writing of a series of "On-poetry Poems". In the article, we can view how Ta-Wei Chen showed his thinking on the aesthetics of poems, city-poems, and even the roles of poets from three different angles, which is "use poems to comment on poems", "use poems to write about the self", and "use poems to write about poets." Eventually, we discover that as a traveling poet wavering between Taiwan and Southeast Asia, poems are the anchor for Ta-Wei Chen in his life. He didn't mean to change society through his poems, but he saw poems as the exploration of a precious environment. He revealed the malady of the writing of the current modern Chinese poems, especially city-poems, explained the reasons for writing about epics and Southeast Asia, and expressed his responsive and mutual cherishing of ancient and modern poets. All the above made the writing of "On-poetry Poems" by Ta-Wei Chen create a unique and meaningful result
